I teach autistic teenagers - looking for advice

Hi there, 

So i teach in a specialist autism base in which our secondary students do not mix with main school. 

The area I am looking into at the moment is offering Art GCSE - of which we have some excitement and interest. 

Generally any tips or advice in delivering art to autistic teens, especially in regards to the following - 

- Researching (we have students who love art but refuse and will not research even with something they are interested in) THIS IS THE BIGGEST THING I NEED HELP WITH Slight smile

- Imagination (some students are extremely imaginative whilst others need a bit more help) 

Any advice, or ideas would be great. 

I am myself autistic but thrived in art, I just want to provide my students with the best experience and support them in the best way possible!
